Classic shingle Nantuket style home in sought-after Franklin Park. Sited atop a wonderful half acre lot, the pristine landscape and brick walkway sets the tone for this Franklin Park home which offers approximately 5800+/- square feet on four finished levels. The two story foyer leads to the formal living room with fireplace and dining room, or branches off to a comfortable family living area with Sonos audio hookup, fireplace, bar with double wine coolers + sink, and screened porch access. The screened porch looks out to the fully fenced rear yard’s fish pond, installed in 2017. Both a front side entrance and rear mudroom entrance lend easy access to the casual spaces of the property, and the kitchen is generously equipped with custom cabinetry, silestone counters, gourmet appliances, and a bay window to bring the outdoors in, illuminating a breakfast area. The second level houses an expansive master suite that offers a sitting room with gas fireplace and tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and stunning renovated bathroom with steam shower, a perfect space for private relaxation. An upper foyer accents this home’s curated modern conveniences, with access to an attic level loft that also doubles as an additional bedroom with full bath. On the main bedroom level, ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets are provided for two secondary bedrooms. A third secondary bedroom as well as a laundry room complete this level. A private backyard retreat features landscape lights, fabulous screen porch, irrigation, a generator, and outdoor entertaining areas. Enveloped by mature trees and lush landscape, a hot tub adds to the appeal while a detached shed offers great outdoor storage solutions. The walk-out lower level adds the final touch to the amenities, with the recreation room’s exterior door leading to the hot-tub patio. The sixth bedroom and another bath complete this level. New interior and exterior paint and light fixtures were completed this year, and the home was completely renovated from the studs up, including a new roof in 2013. All of the electrical wiring and water pipes were replaced, as well as the heating and air conditioning systems, water heater, and hot tub. Franklin Park is known for its natural landscape, mature trees, and charming rolling hills. This home offers access to the best of McLean with its close proximity to all the Downtown McLean and Downtown Arlington have to offer. It is ideally situated just minutes to the George Washington Parkway, I-66, Tyson's Corner, and the Capitol Beltway.
